Curral das Freiras/Madeira, Portugal - 15th April 2013

By: ScillyHH

Hi everyone,

today we went to the heart the heart of the island Madeira and visited the village Curral das Freiras in the valley of the nuns. In former times the nuns were hiding here from the enemies at sea (pirates). Even now it is very difficult to get here. But there are brave local bus drivers, which get here (I myself can confirm, that they are very brave and very good drivers). And today it was extra difficult due to the fog on the mountains (sights under 5 m).
See me in the villages in front of some houses and the local church.

Then it was time for coffee and cake. See me enjoying the break.

After the break we walked through the valley.

On wednesday we will visit the other side of the island (Porto Moniz) and I expect sunshine.

All the very best
